Slow-Cooker Beef Stew

I came to conquer the blah-blah-blues of January. Those chill-you-to-the bone winds along with the sad realization that the holidays are over and not to return for an entire year are a definite call for comfort food.

This, my friends, is the ultimate comfort food. It is in the same class as fluffy buttermilk biscuits, hashbrown casserole, and chicken-noodle soup. But, unlike it's classmates, this Slow-Cooker Beef Stew will fill up your husband as a stand-alone meal. And when the man is full, the mom is happy. And when the mom is happy, everybody's happy. Am I right?

This is some of the yummiest broth you'll ever have in a soup, and the meat is perfectly tender. This is one of those staple recipes you'll come back to again and again!
